[aclug-L] Re: CD-R and ATX case vendor recommendations

[David Carmichael <dec2955@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Nate -

If you do not mind doing mail order you might want to check out the
following case from "Computer Geeks"
http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=205-4260

At another link at there web site you can get the same case with a floppy
drive speakers, keyboard, mouse for only $10 more.

It is a very nice case with plenty of cooling vents, slide on sides,
removable motherboard plate.

The only case that I have seen that is better PRICE vers FEATURES is an
"Enlight" brand case and there, most of the time you have to purchase the
power supply as a stand alone item for $40+
